With three kids running around (or rolling, in Baby N’s case) we have a lot of messes. And I mean A LOT. If you can imagine the mess, I’ve probably cleaned it. A brand new bottle of bubbles? A whole tube of tooth paste? Baby powder and petroleum jelly goop? Yep, yep and a “you’ve got to be kidding me” yep. And all that was just before noon last Monday. Some days are messier than others…
All these messes means there’s a lot of cleaning going on at my house. Ironically, you usually can’t tell that just by looking. Sometimes, I need the broom and mop and vacuum and washing machine to clean up my boys’ messes… but, more often, I just need a towel. Regardless of the mess, I don’t want a lot of chemicals. I still have kids that think it’s okay to put Legos and Connect Four pieces in their mouths or to lick every surface in sight. I don’t want them licking unpronounceable chemicals and wondering if it warrants a call to Poison Control.
5 WAYS TO USE
WATERWIPES
WaterWipes is the world’s purest baby wipe with 99.9% water and that other 0.01% is grapefruit extract! And that’s it, that’s all these wipes contain. I bet you can pronounce both of those, right? No harsh chemicals. Perfect for that delicate baby skin. Did you know that baby skin is five to seven times thinner than an adult’s skin? Definitely not where you want to be applying chemicals 10 times a day! Right?!
WATERWIPES AS BABY WIPES
Baby Wipes. The most obvious way to use these is exactly what they were made for: baby bums. Water Wipes are great baby wipes. My only complaint is that I wish they were a little thicker. I like a nice thick barrier between me and whatever tushie ick I’m cleaning up at the moment. Despite that, I really like these wipes. I love that these won’t dry out my little one’s skin and can prevent diaper rash. These natural baby wipes are so gentle, but they still get the dirtiest of jobs done.
WATERWIPES FOR SPOT TREATMENT
Spot Treatments. Have you ever fed children? They are notorious for being messy. On the rare occasion that we go out to eat with our kids, you can bank on some sauce, jelly, or other condiment coming home on their clothes. WaterWipes are great for quick little spot treatments and since it’s just water, the spots don’t dry with rings around them or discolored. For spills that require a wardrobe change, I put the wet WaterWipe on the spot, fold up the clothes and seal it in the wet bag we keep in our diaper bag until I can get it home to treat it with the laundry. The wipe keeps the spot wet so it doesn’t set before I can get it taken care of.
WATERWIPES FOR CRAFT CLEAN UP
Craft Clean Up. My boys like to paint and, inevitably, they drip on the table, counter top or each other. I love using WaterWipes to clean up their spills on solid surfaces because I don’t have to worry about any lingering chemicals hanging out and getting on food. After scrubbing my kiddo’s hands, my baby can pop his fingers right back in his mouth with no icky tastes lingering on them. I can use them on my two year old’s face without worrying about getting anything in his eyes.
WATERWIPES FOR ON-THE-GO- WET WIPES
Whether you want to wipe down the shopping cart, clean peanut butter off your toddler’s face after lunch at the park or wipe down a toy that’s been hanging around the backseat for who-knows-how-long, these wipes are fantastic. They come in a plastic, resealable bag that keeps them moist and if they dry out, just add a bit of (distilled) water to wet them again. And the single wipes are perfect to keep in your purse or the diaper bag (although if you keep just a single wipe in the diaper bag your life is far less messy than mine).
WATERWIPES AS GENTLE MAKEUP REMOVER CLOTHS
If your skin dries out really easily or is prone to break outs, WaterWipes are great to use as make up remover cloths. A lot of the reasons these are such great baby wipes are the same reasons they are great facial wipes. They are gentle on your skin and aren’t soaked with chemicals. If you suffer from psoriasis, dermatitis or other skin conditions you can still use WaterWipes without the adverse effects of harsher make up remover wipes. The single sample size packages are great to throw in your make up bag or an overnight bag. The wipes are already wet and sealed in their own package. It’s compact ready to use and there are no worries about spilled bottles!
WATERWIPES AS COOL CLOTHS
About a week and a half ago, my littlest boy had a mild fever. Nothing that was too severe, but he obviously wasn’t feeling well. Somehow every single washcloth in our house was in the laundry (the somehow being that’s what Big J used to clean up the nearly full gallon on milk he’d dropped on the floor earlier that evening). We put a couple WaterWipes in the fridge for a few minutes and used them to cool his forehead and sore legs. They worked fabulously. He stopped fussing and finally fell asleep.
These are a great addition to your arsenal, whether you’re battling the office, motherhood, spoiling grandkids or something else. WaterWipes are eco-friendly, truly chemical-free, and perfect for so many of life’s everyday little messes.
